we were not calling him a liar by no means, simply pointing out that the basking, ambiant temps, substrate depth and humidity were off. these lizards are an african river dwelling animal and without high enough temps the lizard can develop a plethera of illnesses and cause the "calm" demenor. any caresheet you read that is reputable will tell you that an ornatus or niloticus(very closely related) are highly agressive and active.
